Safe and Secure Operations: Better Together

[karenkoh]

With the acceleration of digital transformation, leaders responsible for the safety and security of industry control systems (ICS) are seeing the lines between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) networks disappear. In this era of convergence, the explosion of IoT and industrial IoT devices expands the attack surface making your industrial environment more vulnerable to cyberattack, and at a time when the threat-scape is particularly dynamic. To safeguard ICS and SCADA systems asset owners can enable a layered defense-in-depth strategy for both legacy and modern systems, across technology, talent, process, culture and skills. During this fireside chat, security leaders from Schneider Electric and Fortinet team up to discuss:

• Holistic and layered protection strategies to address cybersecurity vulnerabilities and incidents in order to support the security and safety of installed solutions
• Frameworks for security designed to protect new and legacy control systems from unnecessary risk - Business resiliency through the digital shift occurring to provide secure continuous operations
• Developing a ‘shared responsibility' security culture and skills readiness
• The importance of partnership in securing digital transformation at all levels of operations and across the business lifecycle, sharing stories of customer success
